The current state of Michigan football recruiting is trending upward. This month, U-M has reeled in two four-star recruits in the class of 2015 and a likely four-star recruit for 2016. Here are four more players who might join the Michigan family:

Lincolnton (N.C.) defensive end Darian Roseboro (2015)

Roseboro is a Rivals100 prospect, and at 6-feet-4, 283 pounds, he already has college-ready size to be a defensive end. He plans to make his college decision during his first week of school — in late August — and Michigan likely will be among the finalists.

Tampa Wharton wide receiver Auden Tate (2015)

Tate lives in Tampa, is from South Carolina, but grew up a Michigan fan nonetheless. The 6-4, 199-pound four-star recruit plans to visit Ann Arbor in late July for the annual Barbecue at the Big House recruiting event and doesn’t plan to extend his recruitment beyond the summer. A solid trip could net a pledge.

Orchard Lake St. Mary's linebacker Daelin Hayes (2016)

Hayes already considered ending his recruitment at the Rivals Camp Series Detroit event April 27. However, he decided to wait, and that has paid off. Michigan long has been considered a favorite, but the 6-3, 225-pound Hayes recently added a Notre Dame offer, and the Irish are another favorite. With both offers in hand, he could be getting close to having everything he needs to make a pledge.

Traverse City West offensive lineman Thiyo Lukusa (2016)

Like Hayes, Lukusa has come close to making a commitment. He considered choosing Michigan on an unofficial visit in February before deciding he needed a broader comparison. Since then, he unofficially has visited Wisconsin (another favorite) and could be close to gathering all the information he needs. An SEC trip to Alabama, LSU and others could get him closer.

Getting any of these players by the end of the summer could be a huge boost for Michigan and could continue what the coaches are building on the trail.
